My Hope for Peace

Jehan Sadat is a mother, distinguished professor, peace advocate, activist, leader, and the widow of slain Egyptian president and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Anwar Sadat. Here, she brings us a collection of essays with her second book, My Hope for Peace, published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty that her husband pushed into being.

Having been beside Anwar Sadat during his efforts to establish peace with Israel, Jehan Sadat is uniquely positioned to lend her views on the Middle East—from Israel and Palestine relations, to life as a Muslim woman.
